ZLTO Bulgold Inc

BULGOLD Inc. (TSXV: ZLTO) (the “Company” or “BULGOLD”) announces that it has commenced exploration diamond drilling on the Lutila Gold Project located in Central Slovakia. The Lutila exploration licence covers an area of 32.2km² and is prospective for quartz-adularia, low-sulfidation epithermal gold mineralisation.

The Company plans to drill two diamond drill holes to test the potential for mineralised quartz-adularia veins deposited within an upflow zone at depth beneath the Čertov vrch target area (CVDD001) and the Rhyolite Ridge target area (RRDD001) 4.5km to the southwest. The targeted upflow zone is interpreted to be the southern, down-faulted extension of the 6km-long Kremnica low-sulfidation vein system, located immediately north of the project area. Both drill holes will be completed to a minimum 600m hole depth and results will be released on a completed hole basis following receipt of assay results, validation and incorporation into the Company’s database.

Quote from the President & CEO, Mr. Sean Hasson:

“We have started drilling on the Čertov vrch target area where historic soil geochemistry has outlined a strong, broad and coincident arsenic and antimony anomaly. The minor historic, shallow exploration drilling and rock chip sampling that was completed in this area returned low to anomalous gold grades. The float rock surrounding the first drill pad exhibit chalcedonic quartz veins with banded and bladed textures within rhyolite volcanic rocks. We will be drilling to target gold mineralised quartz veins deposited within an upflow zone beneath the ridgeline, similar to those found 5km north at the historic Kremnica gold mine. We will be drilling what we believe to be the deepest hole ever designed within this target area.”

“Following the completion of CVDD001, we will move the drill rig 4.5km to the southwest to drill test the Rhyolite Ridge target area. We understand based on historic data that, to date, no exploration drilling for gold has been completed on this target area. We will once again target mineralised epithermal veins at depth beneath the ridgeline where we believe they may have been deposited within an upflow zone. Drill success on the Rhyolite Ridge target area would open up a potentially 5km-long target area, which is surrounded by sinters, for future gold exploration.”

Historic Sampling and Drilling Data and Information

The historical sampling and drilling data and information disclosed in this press release is related to historical exploration results. The reader is cautioned that the historical sampling and drilling data and information are based on prior data and reports previously prepared by third parties without the involvement of the Company. Information has been sourced from the Slovak Geological Survey in reports 83971 (December 1997) and 92416 (February 2013). BULGOLD has not undertaken any independent investigation of the historical sampling and drilling data and information, nor has it independently analysed the results of the historical sampling and drilling exploration work in order to verify the results. The reader is cautioned not to treat them, or any part of them, as current due to the fact that a qualified person has not done sufficient work to verify the results and that they may not form a reliable guide to future results.  No independent quality assurance/quality control protocols are known for these historic samples and drill holes and therefore the analytical results, data and information may be unreliable. BULGOLD considers the historical sample and drill data and information to be relevant as BULGOLD is using this data and information, in conjunction with the sampling conducted by BULGOLD, as a guide to plan its exploration program for the Lutila Gold Project. BULGOLD’s current exploration work includes verification of the historical data and information through further exploration.
